Allow residents to self-administer drugs if determined clinically appropriate.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to assess whether a resident was able
to administer medications independently.
Residents Affected - Few
This applies to 1 of 1 resident (R419) reviewed for self-administration of medications in a sample of 20.
The findings include:
On June 25, 2024 at 12:20 PM, during initial tour, R419 was in her room and a Ventolin inhaler was found
on her bedside table. R419 said she took two puffs a day and had already done it earlier. On June 26, 2024
at 9:41 AM, R419's Ventolin inhaler was sitting on her bedside table.
On June 26, 2024 at 1:07 PM, V8 (RN/Registered Nurse) said residents were allowed to self-administer
medications if the doctor approved them to administer certain medications at the bedside. V8 said she did
not believe she had any residents who were allowed to have medications at bedside. V8 said she was
taking care of R419. V8 said residents who were not approved to have medications at bedside could end up
doubling up on the dose or someone else could take it. V8 said if a resident wanted to self-administer, she
would notify the manager, and they would do an assessment to see if they were safe to self-administer. V8
said she would then call the doctor and get a clearance and an order needed to be in the computer. V8 said
even if they were allowed to self-administer, the nurses needed to be present to supervise the
administration.
On June 27, 2024 at 2:49 PM, V2 (DON/Director of Nursing) said the residents are allowed to have
medications at the bedside if there is an order in the computer and an assessment should be found under
Assessments in the EMR (Electronic Medical Record). R419's POS (Physician Order Sheet) showed an
order for Ventolin two puffs to be administered every six hours; R419's POS did not have an order to
self-administer medications. The facility was also unable to provide a self-administration assessment or
progress notes showing R419 was safe to self-administer medications. R419's care plans were reviewed,
and there was no information about whether R419 was safe to self-administer medications.
The facility's Facility Responsibilities - Resident Rights policy reviewed on February 2024 showed The
resident has the right to self-administer medications if the interdisciplinary team [IDT] has determined that
this practice is clinically appropriate. A resident may only self-administer medications after the IDT has
determined which medications may be self-administered .The resident's ability to ensure that medication is
stored safely and securely.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to provide wound dressing changes as per
physician's order.
Residents Affected - Few
This applies to 1 of 4 residents (R64) reviewed for skin conditions in a sample of 20.
Finding include:
R64's Face Sheet showed R64 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses of cerebral infarction,
cellulitis of left and right lower limbs, morbid obesity, poly-osteoarthritis, muscle wasting, chronic venous
hypertension with ulcer of lower extremities R64's current lower extremity dressing change physician's
orders are to wash with soap and water, and dry, apply ordered cleanser to all open wounds, apply non
adhering dressing, abdominal pad secure with rolled gauze. Change every other day four times per week
and as needed. R64's care plan states R64 is at risk for skin break down related to fragile aging skin.
Interventions include administer prescribed medications and treatments per doctor's orders. Weekly skin
assessments observe for signs of infection such as redness, inflammation, drainage and notify the
physician as necessary. Document wound care, wound status, healing process in accordance with facility
protocol.
On 06/27/24 at 11:05 AM, R64's dressing change was observed being done by V21 (Wound Nurse) and
V20 (Certified Nursing Assistant-CNA). R64's right and left lower extremities were wrapped with roll gauze
from knee to ankle dated 6/25/24. R64's left lower extremity dressing was completely soaked through on
the back with a copious amount of yellow/pale green drainage. The right lower extremity dressing had a
yellow silver dollar sized area of drainage present . R64's right and left lower extremities were covered with
white crusty scaled skin. R64 had red ulcerations on both lower extremities.
On 06/27/24 at 1:41 PM, V2 DON (Director of Nursing) stated nurses change dressing according to the
physician order. If the wound nurse is not here, the nurse that is assigned to the resident should change the
dressing if necessary. If a dressing is visibly soiled, coming apart, or no longer in place and covering the
wound, it would need to be changed. The person caring for the resident or whoever notices it should notify
the nurse if a dressing soiled and soaked through. If R64's dressing was soaked through, we should
probably be changing it more frequently.
On 06/27/24 at 3:30 PM, V21 Wound Nurse stated R64's dressing changes are done three times per week
on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and as needed. R64's dressing change should have been done before I
saw her today considering the amount of drainage that was on it. The dressing change order has been in
place for the month she has been in the facility. Her leg could have become macerated sitting in a wet
dressing. I only do documentation by exception I did not document any drainage or condition of the wound
on just the dressing change on the treatment record. The doctor did some documentation on her wound
size and description. I've done some notations somewhere but I'm not sure where it is.
On 06/27/24 at 4:24 PM, V2 DON stated the wound nurse absolutely should be doing documentation
describing the wound and drainage as part of her wound assessment and documentation wounds
dressings.
Two nursing notes were provided documenting a description of R64's lower extremity dressing changes
dated 5/17/24 and 6/14/24.

Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to store oxygen cylinders in a manner to prevent
possible explosion hazards, and failed to transfer a resident using a gait belt.
This applies to 4 of 4 residents (R25, R59, R64 and R418) reviewed for safety hazards in a sample of 20.
Findings include:
1. On 06/25/24 at 10:54 AM, a portable oxygen cylinder was observed in R25's room. The oxygen cylinder
was not in a stand or tethered. R64 and R59 are in the rooms on either side of R25's room and at risk of
injury if cylinder tips over and explodes.
On 06/25/24 at 12:39 PM, V33 (Certified Nursing Assistant/CNA) stated she did not know who placed the
oxygen cylinder in R25's room. V33 stated the teaching she received regarding oxygen storage was it
should be stored in a cool room and turned off when not in use.
On 06/25/24 at 12:55 PM, V34 (Registered Nurse/RN) stated she saw the cylinder in R25's room not in a
holder or tethered. V34 stated the oxygen cylinders should be kept in a holder or on the back of a
wheelchair because if it tips over the cylinder can be damaged and need to be replaced.
On 06/25/24 at 1:04 PM, V35 (RN Supervisor) stated oxygen cylinders should be in a holder or tethered to
keep them from falling and causing injuries from an explosion.
On 06/26/24 at 2:06 PM, an oxygen cylinder at 200 psi (pounds per square inch) was in R25's room. The
cylinder was not in a stand or tethered. On 06/26/24 at 2:09 PM, V35 (RN Supervisor) was made aware of
the oxygen cylinder in R25's room.
On 06/26/24 at 5:19 PM, V2 DON (Director of Nursing) stated oxygen cylinders should not be
free-standing; they should be in a holder or tethered. V2 stated oxygen is flammable. If it tips over, it could
combust. It could also fall on someone's foot and cause an injury.
The facility policy Oxygen Safety dated December 2023 states when small size cylinders are in use, they
shall be attached to a cylinder stand or medical equipment designed to receive and hold compressed gas
cylinders.
2. On June 25, 2024 at 11:18 AM, V6 (CNA) assisted to transfer R418 from the wheelchair to the bed. V6
faced R418's wheelchair at an angle to the bed, and then pulled R418 up by the waistband of her pants
and pivoted her onto the bed. V6 did not apply or use a gait belt.
On June 26, 2024 at 2:22 PM, V6 said she had helped R418 transfer by pulling her pants. V6 said she was
supposed to use a gait belt to ensure the resident did not fall. At 2:29 PM, V7 (CNA) said the staff should
be using a gait belt and walker for extra balance, and the staff should not be pulling the residents up using
their pants.
On June 26, 2024 at 2:12 PM, V10 (PTA/Physical Therapy Aide) said R418 was weight bearing as

tolerated and required a two-person assistance to transfer at this time. V10 said the staff should be using a
gait belt because R418 was a high fall risk and had poor postural control, so there should be two staff
present for her transfer. V10 said the staff should not be pulling the residents by their pants and have all
been trained on using a gait belt.
On June 27, 2024 at 2:49 PM, V2 (DON/Director of Nursing) said the staff should be using gait belts to
transfer the residents and should not be transferring the residents by holding their pants.
R418's face sheet showed she was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including urinary tract
infection, generalized anxiety disorder, acute kidney failure, Stage 3 chronic kidney disease, anemia,
gastroesophageal reflux disease, glaucoma, and retention of urine. R418's MDS (Minimum Data Set) was
not available as R418 was a new admission.
The facility's Safe Resident Handling policy reviewed on March 2024 showed Gait (transfer) belt usage is
mandatory for all residents with the exception, of bed mobility and medical contraindication. When using a
gait belt, use a pivoting technique.

This applies to 1 of 4 residents (R15) reviewed for respiratory care in a sample of 20.
On 6/25/24 at 12:14 PM, R15 was sitting at a table in the dining room with her nasal cannula crooked on
her face; one nasal prong was in her right nostril and the other nasal prong was next to her right nostril on
her right cheek. Her nasal cannula tubing was connected to a portable oxygen delivery device that was
flashing orange with message no breathing detected, please check cannula. Surveyor counted R15's
respiratory rate at 32 breaths per minute. Surveyor asked R15 if she was feeling and breathing okay and
R15 did not answer. R15 was breathing fast, but she was not mouth breathing or gasping for air. At 12:19
PM, surveyor pointed out the no breathing detected message to V4 (CNA/Certified Nurse Assistant) and V4
said she did not know what the message meant and she would have to ask the nurse. V4 (CNA) then
continued to feed R15 with the nasal cannula crooked on her face and the oxygen delivery device not
working properly and V4 (CNA) did not notify R15's nurse. At 12:39 PM surveyor found R15's nurse, V3
(Registered Nurse/RN), and notified V3 of the no breathing detected message on the portable oxygen
delivery device. At 12:41 PM, V3 (RN) switched R15's nasal cannula tubing to a portable oxygen tank and
turned the dial to 3 liters. V3 did not check R15's oxygen saturation level or assess the nasal cannula to
make sure it was positioned correctly in her nose. At 12:47 PM, surveyor told V4 (CNA) who was still sitting
next to R15 that R15's nasal cannula prongs were not positioned in both nostrils and V4 then fixed the
nasal cannula. At 12:50 PM, surveyor again assessed R15's respiratory rate and counted 24 breaths per
minute. R15 appeared more comfortable.
R15's Face Sheet shows admission diagnoses of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, acute and chronic
respiratory failure, pulmonary embolism, and cognitive communication deficit. R15's MDS (Minimum Data
Set) dated 5/10/24 shows her cognition is severely impaired and she requires continuous oxygen therapy.
R15's POS (Physician Order Sheet) shows an order dated 5/10/2024 for continuous oxygen therapy per
nasal cannula. R15's Care Plan with last evaluation date of 6/28/23 states R15 will be free from any signs
of respiratory distress or any signs or symptoms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbation.
Interventions include to check oxygen saturation as needed and assess R15's respiratory rate and work of
breathing.
On 6/27/24 at 2:32 PM, V2 (DON/Director of Nursing) said R15's portable oxygen delivery device works
differently than a portable oxygen tank. V2 said R15's portable oxygen delivery device would only deliver
oxygen to R15 when she would breathe in. V2 said if the device was reading no breathing detected, please
check cannula she would expect the staff to follow up and fix the problem immediately. V2 said a normal
respiratory rate for an adult is 16-20 breaths per minute. V2 said she would expect that both the CNA and
RN would have assessed R15's nasal cannula first to make sure it was positioned correctly in her nose. V2
said it is a problem if a nasal cannula is only positioned in one nostril because then the resident is not
getting the physician prescribed dose of oxygen and this can lead to increased respiratory rate and work of
breathing and eventually impact the resident's mental status if the oxygen is not fixed.
The facility's policy last reviewed December 2023 titled, Oxygen Administration states, Policy: To establish a
policy and procedure for the administration of oxygen therapy used to treat or prevent the symptoms and
manifestation of hypoxia. Oxygen is administered to residents who need it, consistent with their
comprehensive person-centered care plans, and goals and preferences . Policy

been taped back because of the possibility of contamination and possible drug diversion. V2 said that the
facility does not know what drug is in the punch card now. V2 said that her expectations of the nurses are
that if they punched it out, they are to waste it with another nurse. V2 said that there is supposed to be a
thermometer inside the medication refrigerator and a temperature log. The temperatures are to be taken
daily and logged by the night shift. V2 said this needs to be done because the medications need to be kept
at a certain temperature and if not kept at that temperature, they are no longer able use them- it destroys
the drug's integrity. V2 said that her expectations for the facility's nurses are that when there is any chance
that the refrigerator is not working or they don't know if the temperature is out of range, get a new
refrigerator or thermometer and call the pharmacy to see how long of a hold time is on the medications and
discard anything that is not good to save.
The facility's Facility Responsibilities - Resident Rights policy reviewed on February 2024 showed the
facility must evaluate The resident's ability to ensure that medication is stored safely and securely. The
facility's Medication Storage policy reviewed on March 2022 showed It is the policy of this facility to ensure
all medications housed on our premises will be stored in the medication rooms to ensure proper sanitation,
temperature, light, ventilation, moisture control, segregation, and security .All drugs and biologicals will be
stored in locked compartments (i.e., medication carts, cabinets, drawers, refrigerators, medication rooms)
under proper temperature controls.
The facility's controlled substance Administration & Accountability policy dated March 2024 showed that it is
the policy of the facility to promote safe, high quality patient care, compliant with state and federal
regulations regarding monitoring the use of controlled substances. The policy showed that the facility will
have safeguards in place in order to prevent loss, diversion or accidental exposure. The facility's Storage of
Medication Requiring Refrigeration policy dated March 2024 showed that it is the policy of the facility to
ensure proper and safe storage of medication requiring refrigeration and to prevent the potential alteration
of medication by exposure to improper temperature controls. Provide safe and effective storage of all drugs

observation from 11:18 AM to 11:29 AM.
On 6/26/24 at 11:21 AM, V26 (CNA/Certified Nurse Assistant) walked into R43's room without sanitizing
her hands or putting on gown and gloves. V26 then walked out of R43's room, grabbed a water cup she had
set outside R43's room on the handrail and brought that water cup into another resident's room. V26 did not
perform hand hygiene. On 6/26/24 at 12:36 PM R43 was again observed eating lunch in the dining room at
a table with four other residents.
On 6/27/24 at 10:49 AM, a visitor was observed sitting in R43's room without any PPE on. On 6/27/24 at
10:54 AM was observed being wheeled down the hall and entering the physical therapy gym. V27 (Physical
Therapy Assistant) said she knows R43 is on contact precautions, but V28 (Infection Preventionist) cleared
R43 to leave her room because R43's infection is contained.
R43's Face sheet shows V29 is her primary physician and she has diagnosis of urinary tract infection.
R43's POS (Physician Order Sheet) shows an order dated 6/19/24 for oral antibiotic twice a day for 10 days
starting on 6/20/24 to treat ESBL. R43's POS shows an order dated 6/19/24 for Contact Isolation
Precautions for ESBL in the urine. R43's Care Plan last evaluated 8/31/23 shows she has urinary
incontinence related to weakness, she has been diagnosed with ESBL in the urine and is receiving
antibiotic therapy for urinary tract infection, and is in contact isolation precautions due to ESBL in the urine.
Intervention says to inform all staff/family members/visitors of need to maintain contact precautions and
wear appropriate PPE and wash hands. R43's MDS (Minimum Data Set) dated 5/14/24

3. On 6/25/24 at 12:59 PM, R23's room was observed with contact precautions sign on her door and R23
was not in her room. R23 was then observed eating lunch in the dining room sitting within 2 feet of other
residents.
Residents Affected - Some
On 6/26/24 at 12:32 PM, R23 was again observed outside her room in the dining room around other
residents.
On 6/27/24 at 12:58 PM, V28 (Infection Preventionist) said she thought that as long as the ESBL in the
urine is contained in an incontinence brief, that the patient was allowed to come out of their room so that is
what she told the bedside nurse. V28 said R23's antibiotics are completed but R43 is still receiving
antibiotics to treat the ESBL. V28 said the contact precaution order is still in place, but even when the ESBL
was first diagnosed for R43 and R23, the residents were not actually in contact isolation because they
could always come in and out of their rooms. V28 said staff who enter R43 and R23's rooms are expected
to wear gown and gloves, so the residents are only in contact precautions inside their rooms. V28 said she
did not get clearance from V29 (Primary Physician) saying that R43 could come out of her room, but she
thinks that V29 told R23's nurse that it was up to the Infection Preventionist whether or not R23 could come
out of her room. V28 said she does not have a policy that shows a resident on contact precautions with
ESBL in the urine may come out of their room.
On 6/27/24 at 2:32 PM, V2 (DON/Director of Nursing) said gown and gloves are required for contact
isolation, and gown and gloves are required for a resident with ESBL in the urine. V2 said a resident with
ESBL in the urine can leave their room if the urine is contained. V2 said if a resident with ESBL in the urine
is incontinent of urine and wears a brief, the ESBL is not contained. V2 said if staff crosses the barrier of
the doorway and enters the room of a contact precaution resident, the staff needs to wear gown and gloves
because if they don't wear the proper PPE, their clothes or hands can become contaminated and they can
then track that bacteria to other places in the facility. V2 said housekeeping should absolutely be wearing
gown and gloves while cleaning a contact precaution room because they are the staff that are coming in
most contact with all of the potentially contaminated surfaces. V2 said a housekeeper should sanitize her
broom and mop handles while leaving a contact precaution room so she does not potentially contaminate
other surfaces she touches and cause an outbreak.
On 6/27/24 at 2:28 PM, V29 (Primary Physician) said incontinent residents who are in contact isolation for
ESBL in the urine need to stay in their rooms so they don't risk spreading the infection to other residents.
R23's Face sheet shows V29 is her primary physician and she has diagnosis of ESBL. R23's POS shows
an order dated 6/15/24 for oral antibiotic twice a day for 10 days starting on 6/16/24 to treat ESBL in the
urine. R23's POS shows an order dated 6/15/24 for contact isolation precautions due to ESBL in the urine.
R23's Care Plan last evaluated on 8/15/23 shows she is in contact isolation due to ESBL in the urine with a
goal to not spread to other residents or staff and intervention: inform all staff/family members/visitors of
need to maintain contact isolation precautions and wear appropriate PPE. R23's MDS dated [DATE] shows
she is frequently incontinent of urine.

agents, based on the pathogens' modes of transmission . Policy Explanation and Compliance Guidelines: 1.
Facility staff will apply Transmission-Based Precautions, in addition to standard precautions, to residents
who are known or suspected to be infected or colonized with certain infectious agents requiring additional
controls to prevent transmission .3. Residents on transmission-based precautions shall remain in their
rooms except for medically necessary care .7. Contact Precautions-a. intended to prevent transmission of
infectious agents that are spread by direct or indirect contact with the resident or the resident's environment
.c. Healthcare personnel caring for residents on Contact Precautions wear a gown and gloves for all
interactions that may involve contact with the resident or potentially contaminated areas in the resident's
environment. d. Donning personal protective equipment (PPE) upon room entry and discarding before
exiting the room is done to contain pathogens .f. Contact precautions will be used for residents infected or
colonized with MDROs in the following situations: i. When a resident has wounds, secretions, or excretions
that are unable to be covered or contained .Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility
failed to post and follow isolation precautions for residents under isolation; failed to perform hand hygiene
during meal service, toileting, wound care, and incontinence care; and failed to safely handle soiled linen.
This applies to 8 of 8 residents (R23, R29, R43, R44, R45, R117, R167, R418) reviewed for infection
control in a sample of 20.
The findings include:
1. On June 25, 2024, R418 was under EBP (Enhanced Barrier Precautions). Outside R418's room was the
EBP signage, as well as an isolation bin with gowns, gloves, and face masks. At 11:24 AM, V6
(CNA/Certified Nurse Assistant) walked into R418's room with only gloves on and assisted R418 to transfer
from the wheelchair to the bed. V6 took R418's urinary catheter bag and placed it on the ground during the
transfer. At 11:28 AM, V6 picked the urinary catheter bag up from the ground and placed it into the privacy
bag hanging on the bed frame. At 11:29 AM, V6 began assisting R418 with incontinence cares while
wearing gloves but no gown. R418 had a bowel movement and V6 cleaned R418's bowel movement. At
11:33 AM, V6 observed excoriation and redness and said she was going to get the nurse. At 11:35 AM, V6
removed her gloves and left the room without performing hand hygiene. At 11:38 AM, V6 returned to the
room with gloves on and V8 (RN/Registered Nurse) applied both the gown and gloves prior to entering the
room. V6 began wiping R418's perianal area with wipes to show V8 R418's broken skin. V6 told V8 it was
R418's second bowel movement for the day and both had been loose. V8 said R418 had labs done
yesterday and she was going to check the results and notify the wound nurse of the irritated skin. V6
continued wiping R418's perianal area, removed her gloves, and applied new gloves without any hand
hygiene. V6 wiped R418's catheter tubing to remove the stool. Wearing the same soiled gloves, V6 applied
a new incontinence brief, then removed her gloves and left the room and used alcohol-based hand
sanitizer. At 11:54 AM, V6 and V8 returned to R418's room wearing gloves but no gowns. V6 and V8
repositioned R418 and then both removed their gloves. At 11:59 AM, V8 picked up R418's urinary catheter
bag without gloves on to see how much urine was in the collection bag. At 11:59 AM, V8 used hand
sanitizer inside the room, and V6 left the room without performing any hand hygiene.
On June 26, 2024 at 9:27 AM, R418 was observed to under contact isolation. R418's isolation signage
showed alcohol-based hand sanitizer was an appropriate hand hygiene method after exiting from R418's
room. At 11:44 AM, V36 (Family Member) said R418 had tested positive for Clostridium Difficile (C. Diff.).
On June 26, 2024 at 2:35 PM, V9 (CNA) entered R418's contact isolation room with a gown on and no
gloves. At 2:36 PM, V9 exited R418's room after removing her gown and walked to the end of the

Residents Affected - Some
hallway where another isolation bin was located, and grabbed an unopened package of gowns and put the
package of gowns in R418's isolation bin. V9 then grabbed a new gown without performing any hand
hygiene and put the gown on. V9 was observed touching her face mask and the isolation bin drawer. At
2:38 PM, V9 said R418 was on isolation for C. Diff. and the staff should be wearing a mask, gown, and
gloves prior to entering the room. V9 said she did not put the gloves on, and after taking the gown off, she
closed the door behind her. V9 said she did not wash her hands and should have cleansed her hands by
washing them with soap and water. V9 said this was done to prevent contamination of another resident or
room.
On June 27, 2024 at 12:05 PM, R418 had two signs showing contact isolation, and another sign showing
droplet isolation. V2 (DON/Director of Nursing) said R418 had an exposure to COVID-19 and was a PUI
(Person Under Investigation).
On June 27, 2024 at 11 AM, V28 (IP/Infection Preventionist) said R418 was a PUI, and the staff needed to
wear an N-95, gown, gloves, and a face shield to go into her room. V28 also said a resident who is tested
for C. Diff. should be under contact isolation from when they are tested to when the results come back. At
2:07 PM, V28 said the droplet precaution signage indicated a regular face mask but if they are in COVID-19
isolation, it should be an N-95. At 2:16 PM, V28 showed the surveyor a sign for contact and droplet,
indicating the staff should be wearing a gown, gloves, an N-95, and face shield. V28 said the contact and
droplet sign should have been outside R418's room.
On June 26, 2024 at 2:22 PM, V6 (CNA) said she found out yesterday that R418 was positive for C. Diff. V6
said prior to the positive results, R418 was on isolation for the urinary catheter. V6 said the signage said
she needed to wear a gown and gloves when touching the urinary catheter, but she forgot to put the gown
on. V6 said she was aware she should have worn all the PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) every time
she went into R418's room. V6 said R418 was tested for C. Diff.
On June 26, 2024 at 2:29 PM, V7 (CNA) said R418 was on contact isolation for C. Diff., and she would
wear a gown, gloves, and a mask to go in. V7 said she would also wash her hands after coming out of the
room because C. Diff. does not wash off using alcohol-based hand sanitizer. V7 said when R418 was on
EBP, the staff were supposed to wear a gown and gloves when handling the urinary catheter.
On June 26, 2024 at 2:41 PM, V8 (RN) said R418 was first on EBP for the urinary catheter and later got the
call she needed to be on contact isolation for C. Diff. V8 said they should be wearing a gown and gloves if
touching the urinary catheter. V8 said this was done to prevent infection to and from the patient. V8 also
said the staff should be washing their hands with soap and water and using bleach to clean the surfaces.
On June 27, 2024 at 2:49 PM, V2 (DON/Director of Nursing) said if a resident was on EBP, the staff should
wear a gown and gloves in the room when providing patient care. V2 also said if a resident was suspected
of having C. Diff., she should have been on contact isolation when the order for collection goes into the
EMR (Electronic Medical Record). V2 also said for PUI's, the staff should wear an N-95 mask, gown,
gloves, and a face shield. V2 said the signage should have shown contact and droplet. V2 said the staff
should not touch the urinary catheter without wearing gloves for a resident in EBP for a urinary catheter
and should also not place the urinary catheter bag on the ground because it was an infection control issue.
R418's face sheet showed she was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including urinary tract
infection, generalized anxiety disorder, acute kidney failure, Stage 3 chronic kidney
